HALT: There are 2 stations called Reedham; this answer is not specific enough.

There is a rule for instances such as this, known as "the Rainham Rule" whereby answers which are potentially correct but not definitely so result in the round being voided, the floor retained by the Turn Player and the player who provided the answer retaining floor next time the other player wins his/her round.

I think it was slightly obvious what one I meant :(

Considering I'm half way through a round, can we just finish this one then the floor is returned back to Trainfan344?

My guess is Hertford North.

Quite possibly, but then again I suppose the same could be said of clagmonster's "Rainham" guess (when Rainham (Essex) was the required answer), the like of which the rule was created fairly specifically to deal with. In any case, the rule has been set out, so should be followed unless and until it is changed.

However, I would suggest that this round should be played out.

ok, thanks, will remember it for next time ;)

None of the above. Also sorry for the delay last night and this morning!

Clue 4: On one of this station's two platforms, there used to be a small newsagents, however this was dismantled in the 1980's

Nope

Clue 5: If you put all the stations this station has regular services to in a list (and this station itself), and arranged them alphabetically, the station itself would come last in the list.

Also, I'd like to add to Clue 2 that all regular passenger services passing through this station are EMU's as well. This should (hopefully!) narrow it down to one station

btw, as Hendon was wrong guess based on the clues (4 platforms, not 2) then you should have really waited for another guess [I got caught out by this recently] :)

oh, oops! turns out I'm not very good at this game, haha

Anyways, Watlington is only served by King's Cross in the London Terminals, so it's not that!

Floor is now with Trainfan344 for the "Rainham Rule". The round which ended at Reedham (Norfolk) is voided.

Searle, the Rainham Rule also means you will retain the floor the next time Trainfan344 wins one of your rounds.

Ahh I'd rather not take it, I rarely check in on this game and I'll miss the next time he wins, so I elect an open floor for when that happens :D
